'Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice' Stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill Talk About Their Characters

The film director of "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" Zack Snyder talks about the anticipated film alongside Ben Affleck, playing Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman.

Snyder's previous film, "Man of Steel," gained mixed reviews mainly due to the destructive nature of Superman who killed General Zod that caused the death of many civilians during their epic battle.

According to Screen Rant, after the fans of Superman became disappointed with the ending of the "Man of Steel," said he didn't mind the criticism and stated that the forthcoming "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" was not trying to fix any supposed "mistake" of the first film.

"The reception of my first Superman movie, from what I've read, was fairly mixed," the actor said.

"Everyone I've spoken to enjoyed the movie, but [not] unlike if you're going to meet a stranger in the street, they're not going to badmouth you to your face. There's no intentional move, I don't think, in 'Batman V Superman' to address any issues that people had with 'Man of Steel.' It's just a continuation of that storyline and they continue to develop that world and introduce new characters."

Speaking on USA Today, Snyder talked about Batman's character, "You can see the idea of the innocent being victimized by whatever they are, aliens, he doesn't know - that's the thing that really boils his blood, as you can imagine it would. Suddenly the innocent children of the world are all of us."

Affleck added that his Batman is darker and more violent, hugely affected by his past. He's "a guy who had been through that experience already for many years and was kind of burnt out and asking himself what the point of it all was and going through an existential crisis."

Cavill also commented that his character, Superman, knows he can put Batman in the ground if he wishes to. "He can sure as hell take Batman out if he wants to, and Batman takes advantage of that," he said.

"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman. The casts also include Gal Gadaot as Wonder Woman and Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Furthermore, rumor suggests that Jason Momoa will appear as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. The film is set to premiere worldwide on March 25.
